The Hidden Cost of Bad Branding (and What DIY Tools Won’t Tell You)
Why “cheap” branding is the most expensive decision you can make.
Let’s be honest for a second: branding has never been easier to attempt. Between AI logo generators, $20 template bundles, and DIY drag-and-drop tools, anyone can whip up a “brand” in an afternoon.
